Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1671, with an earlier core and an 18th-century wing. The main range is cruck framed, with wallstone that is rendered and features exposed gritstone quoins. The wing is constructed from coursed, squared gritstone, and both sections have stone slate roofs. The building has a baffle-entry plan with a rear wing to the right and is two storeys high, featuring three windows on the first floor.

At the front, there is a rough stone plinth and to the right, a board door set in a chamfered quoined surround. This door has a deep lintel with the date inscribed in a sunken panel, all beneath a hoodmould with decorative square stops. To the left of the door is an inserted doorway, with a 3-light mullion window to its left and a similar 4-light window to the right. Both windows are double-chamfered, have leaded lights, and decorative square hoodmould stops. Above each window, there is a sashed double-chamfered opening that was formerly two lights. A modern casement window is located at the far left on each floor.

The right gable features an ashlar stack. The wing on the right has a plinth and projecting quoins, with three 2-light windows on each floor, all having square-faced surrounds, a recessed central mullion, and small-pane wood casements. The wing also has moulded kneelers, copings, and a corniced ashlar end stack.

Inside, two cruck frames are exposed, with a half bay at the right end that likely once held a firehood, and remnants of a heck post. The bays are divided by a plank and muntin partition on a raised sill, and there are chamfer-stopped spine beams. The trusses have wall ties, one of which features an arched doorhead to the soffit, and windbraces to single purlins. A flat-balustered staircase is located in the 18th-century wing. The house is illustrated and discussed in S.O. Addy's book, "The Evolution of the English House," 1933 edition, on pages 75-80.
